For my PLN response this week I decided to do it over the song “Behind Closed Doors” by Rise Against. The lyrics to this song really made me think. It just keeps talking about not staying behind closed doors but there is a bigger meaning to it. What it is really talking about is making change. We can’t all just sit around and hope something will happen. If you want something to happen then you need to get up and do something about it; for instance activism. It is a duty, not a choice. Only through activism can we this country by the people, and for the people. So really what that means is that at times we just need to cast away our apathy which is mainly what I was saying before. Really what this means is that we need emotion and enthusiasm in order to make a difference. I personally think that this statement is completely true. Think about it. A real world example would be Presidents. Whenever they are giving a speech or trying to make a difference they have emotion in there voice. They try to emphasize things in there speech to attract people’s attention and make us think about what they just said.
Also if you pay attention to the lyrics of the song its saying that we aren’t obligated to stay alive and be here but, we still are here because every single one of us serves a purpose on this earth. Some of us serve bigger purposes than others but we are all still equal. This song talks about how even though we get knocked down in life, we can all still get back up and make things right. We don’t just after one failure say that we’re done. No. We get back up and keep trying till we get it or till our life’s are back in order. This is what I think that this song is about. Casting aside our apathy and mistakes so that, we don’t live our lives Behind Closed Doors.
